Day 9 of 10
Saturday, June 05, 2010 It started out as a cool overcast day. It looked like it wanted to rain all day long. I thought about going over to Rog lake and trying for some brookies, but the ever present danger of rain all day kept of close to home. Our clothes finally did mostly dry out. We had some great chicken fajitas for dinner. Mostly we stayed close to camp and explored the area.
For a time we went out and tried fishing, but had no luck. We stopped at one of the unoccupied sites to get out to stretch. It really wasn't all that impressive. I surmised our site may have been the 2nd or 3rd best of the 7 on this lake. For the most part we really didn't do a whole lot today. We cleaned up the campsite a bit as there were several trees downed. I chopped most of them into firewood. Vickie continued to explore. She found what appeared to be a turtle nest that had been raided. I built a fire early this evening. It had been cool all day and it felt good to warm our bones by the fire.
We retired early this evening. We planned on getting an early start in the morning & heading out through Sea Gull. Jasper Lake
